For context, I made this VRChat world of Triton and would like to add some more things to the environment.
On Wikipedia#), there is this graphic showing that there is some kind of precipitation happening on the surface, but there is no mention of precipitation on the Wikipedia page!
Does anyone know what this is or where more information can be found?
What is the precipitation on Triton?

The precipitation is tholins, methane broken down by sunlight and recombined. If it was even visible, it would look like extremely thin smog over a way past sunset dark horizon. The actually visible precipitation would be some very sparse, tiny, dirty snow particles from the geyser plumes. They wouldn’t feather around as they fall since there’s practically no air resistance.
